BEATING AND MIXING MACHINE.

.To @ZZ whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANcEs V. RAYMOND, of the` city of Buffalo, in the county of Erie and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Beating and Mixing Machines, ofwhich the following is aspecifcatio'n.

This invention relates more particularly to improvements in egg-beating machines.

The object of this invention is to produce a machine in which light batters for making cake, muflins, waffles, Src., can be quickly and easily formed, and in which the whites and the yelks of the eggs which are used in producing these batters can be `separately beaten at one and the same time by one person, thus saving considerable time.

The invention consists to these ends of a machine having two separate heaters which can be operated simultaneously,y as will be hereinafter fully set forth, and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l represents a vertical sectional elevation of my improved machine. Fig. 2 is a top plan View of the same. Fig. 3 is a cross-section on an enlarged scale in line .fr x, Fig. 2.

Like letters of reference refer to like parts in the several gures.

A represents the base-of the machine, upon which rest the vessels or receptacles B B', into which the Whitesand yelks of the eggs are respectively placed. The base A is provided with annular anges or raised rims a, which retain the receptacles B B in place.

G D represent the rotary beaters, arranged iu the receptacles B B', respectively.

The beater O is. designed to beatthe yelks of the eggs, and consists of a series of curved radial arms or blades secured to the shaft c; The latter is journaled at its upper end in bearings e e, formed inone end of a horizontal frame, E, which is supported by a tubular standard or column, F, secured tothe hase A. The shaft c is provided at its upper end with a pinion, c', which is keyed to the shaft and rests upon the frame E, whereby the shaft is suspended from the frame E.

The beater D is designed to beat the whites of the eggs, and consists, preferably, of two wire loops, D D2, arranged one within the l other, and adapted to be rotated in opposite directions. The beaters D DIl aresecured, respectively, to rings or collars d d and d d', which surround a central shaft, d2. The collars d are keyed to the shaft d2, so that 'the beater D will turn with the shaft di, while the collars d are loose on the shaft.

d3 represents a hollow shaft, which surrounds the shaft d2, and which is secured at its lower end to the beater D?. The upper end of the tubular shaft d3 turns in a bearing, e', formed in thehorizontal frame E. The upper end of the shaft d2 projects above the top of the tubular shaftd3 and turns in a bearing, e, formed in the frame E.

g represents a pinion secured to the upper end of the hollow shaft cl3 and resting upon.

the frame E, and 7L represents a pinion secured to the shaft d2 above `the pinion g. The pinions g 7L are arranged one above the other and y between the bearings c c2 of the frame E, and support, respectively, the shafts d2 and d3 in a suspended position from the frame E.

J represents a gear-wheel mounted on avertical spindle or arbor, j, so as to turn thereon.

The wheel J rests upon the frame E, and is held in place upon the spindle 7' by a thumbnut, j. The gear-Wheel. J meshes with the pinions c and g, secured, respectively, to the beater-shafts c and d3, and is provided with a hand-crank, k, whereby the gear-wheel J is turned and motion imparted to the beatershafts c and d3 and the beaters secured thereto.

L is a laterally-projecting arm or extension formed on the 'frame E, and provided at its outer end with a vertical stud or arbor, Z, upon which is mounted aspur-wheel, M. The wheel M meshes with the gear-wheel J and the pinion h, whereby motion is transmitted from the driving-gear J to the gear-wheel M, and from thence to the pinion lz, secured to the beatershaft d2. By means of the intermediate gearwheel, M, the beater-shaft d2 andthe beater D', secured thereto, are rotated in the opposite direction from that of the beater D2. The pinion 7L is much larger in diameter than the pinion g, and is arranged above the driving-wheel J, so'as to clear the same, and the intermediate gear-wheel, M, is made of sufficient depth that its teeth will engagewith the driving-wheel J and pinion h. The spindlej extends through IOO the frame E, and is seated in the tubular column or standard F.

p is avertical slot formed in the hollow standard F, and terminating at its upper end in a horizontal recess, p'.

q is a pin or stud secured to the lower end of the spindlej and projecting into the slot p, whereby the spindle j and the frame E, secured thereto, are held from turning.

The slot p in the standard is made of sufficient length to permit the frame with the beaters suspended therefrom to be raised until the lower ends of the beater-shafts will clear the upper edges of the vessels B B. When the parts are in this position the pin q on the spindle j will be opposite the recess p at the upper end ofthe slot. By giving the frame E a slight turn the pin y will engage itself in the recess p and hold the frameld and beaters suspended above the vessels. The parts can remain in this position until the batter drains oft from the beaters, whenthe vessels B B can be removed from the base and be emptied and again replaced in position.

My improved egg-beater can be constructed at comparatively small expense and forms a durable and very convenient article.

I am aware that two sets of beaters rotated in Opposite directions within the saine mixingvessel are not newfor instance, as shown in Letters Patent No. 262,118, August 1, 1882- and I do not claim, broadly, such construe-tion.

I claim as my invention- 1. The combination, with the base, of a mixing-vessel resting loosely on the base, beaters attached to a vertical spindle, a frame in which the spindle is journaled, a support on which said frame is made vertically movable to raise the beaters from the vessel, and driving mechanism attached to said movable frame, whereby the beaters are rotated, substantially as set forth.

2. The combination, with the base, of a mixing-vessel resting loosely on the base, beaters attached to a vertical spindle, a frame in which the spindle is journaled, a support on which said frame is made vertically movable to raise the beaters from the vessel, a stop vwhereby said frame is supported in'an elevated position with the beaters above the mixing-vessel, and driving mechanism attached to said movable frame, whereby the beaters are rotated, substantially as set forth.

3. The combination, with the base A and the mixing-vessels B B', resting loosely thereon, of the column F, secured to said base, a. horizontal frame, E, supportedby said column and made vertically-movable thereon, beaterspindles journaled in said frame and depending therefrom, and a driving-wheel journaled centrally on said frame and connected with Wheels on the beater-spindles, substantially as set forth.

4. The combination, with the baseA and supporting-frame E, of the shaft c, Vprovided with beaters C andjournaled in one end of the frame E, shafts d2 d3, provided with beaters D' D2 and journaled in the opposite end of said frame, pinions c g h, mounted, respectively, on the shafts c (Z2 d3, gear-wheel J, engaging with the pinion c and g, and an intermediate gearwheel, M, engaging with the gear-wheel J and the pinion h, substantially as set forth.

5. The combination, with the base A, provided with a hollow standard, F, having a vertical slot, 1J, of the frame E, carrying the beaters, and a supporting-spindle, j, secured to said frame and seated in the hollow standard, and provided with a pin or proj cction, q, which engages in the slot p, substantially as sot forth.

6. The combination, with mixing vessels and beaters, of the tubular standard F, provided with a vertical slot, 19, and transverse slot or recess p', and the frame E, provided with a spindle, j, tting in said tubular standard, and provided with apin projecting through the slot p and adapted to engage in the transverse slot or recess p', substantiall y as set forth.

fitness my hand this 17th day of December, 1885.
